those scopes are unusable yikes
i have no issues 🤷♀️
c an we pls have two auric mael missions up at once
so i dont have to play extra poxbursters
thanks
is there better fashion stuff or nah?
I'm confused by veteran. I...feel like other classes do what he does but better?
Just started leveling one and just feel...off with it
veteran starts to stand out in the mid levels
when you get your grenades and specialty weapons'
We do what every other class does but better.
Melee vet is just better zealot
Don't @ me
correct

fully red
Veteran early is gonna feel bad
Veteran late is a little fuunnnyy
I’m not a fan of red outfits
IS melee Vet better than Zealot?
I generally prefer Melee and go for my Zealot for that
But ill keep pushing my vet along
Its a weird yes and no, cause I've out performed some Zealots with my Melee Vet build
I love it, just wish the chest/shoulder armor wasn't rusty
weapon specialist abuses the revolver a lot in melee playstyle
in a way zealot cant do
its good in its own way
but if you're asking
which one can banzai charge into enemy line alone and live
zealot
do most of you run auric damnation or what
i only play auric mael
occasionally qp auric if im doing a meme or just farming plas
which i dont do much because its brain numbingly boring
But how else will you get the diamantine for crafting except for endless standard quickplays 💪💪💪
i've been pretty comfortable in normal damnation for some time, don't remember losing any games, ig its time to move to auric
its really not much different
tbh
the tension modifier is higher? ig
i heard this at least
Pretty much only playing auric maelstrom
QP aurics for me because perpetually need plasteel still
Honestly reminding me I need to play Mael more mainly cause I've just been plasteel grinding and its been getting actually boring
Enhanced Blitz Mael, making me consider whipping out the grenadier build
If they can ever one day make those dumb books/grims give resource multipliers like quickplay does...
at least let me have a room where I can stack the books up lol
make it like the payday 2 vault
only it's spooky books
and then you get enough and a daemon manifests on the mourningstar
Grims 100% need a buff. Not point in taking them other than to troll the team
Indeed
Drives me insane when people pick up both
Idk why the docket amount is so low on top of other shit like constant ticking corruption damage
Let’s just kill the lil uns
Scripts are literally more profitable in every way and are easier
Luckily most of the community seems to have gotten the message to never pick them up
Nah
The sad moment when picking all all grims can't even afford you to buy a grey gun from brunt lol
50% of the time they pick it up every time 
I must be a lucky varlet then 
Join my games, feel the pain.
It’s monster mash maelstrom or nothing for me
well shit anyone wanna play a game?
Sorry I'm here to bitch about games not play them
Is there a good bolt gun build out there?
there was before they nerfed it
now literally anything that boltgun touches turns to shit
You can play EXE and Focus target
Kill alot of bosses
Kill alot of spec and elites
Yall
bolt gun was good when it didn't fail in killing a normal poxwalker with one shot to the chest
plasma does it all better
Oh i was gonna come here and troll but I see we have a troll on shift already
I don't give two shits about the plasma rn
Comparing it to plasma is useless
It still one taps shotgunners and gunners
Oh my gosh yall
Crazy
sure
jealous?
yes
Bolter is only good on zealot
yeah so why would you EVER play antyhing but plasma?
like plasma outclasses everything
i hate how every discussion is like muh plasma does better
yeah well it's OP as shit
there is no reason not to use it if you just want to win

because i think its boring, i would just use it over the bolter, not everything else
honestly this is what every convo was before Plasma became op but it was autopistol, bolter, mg12
ok well go get hugged
then maybe apply the same logic? people use it cause it's fun?
lmao
PlAsma DOEs iT BettER
stfu
oh shit I started a flame war lmao oops 
Inly
it kills everything worth shooting at
tbh bolter is nothing now compared to its former glory
?
I do
I get why people like it, but you didn't see it before it got nerfed that's all I'm sayin'
I was there on release playing bolter-psword
when pinning fire was OP
as it should be
you're all just absolute potatoes and your entire argument for bolter bad is plasma/revolver existing
both of which need some fat nerfs
you can circumvent the draw speed anyhow
I just miss being able to actually kill things without having to spend an entire magazine
muh tech
I swear half the time of having a bolt gun now is just looking at reload animations
the bolters power still infuriates me
before you could just snipe anything with one shot, I don't see anything wrong with that considering the recoil, mag size and reload time
i hate the slow reload and low ammo capacity, but yeah can't change that cuz then it would be op
the devs are so scared to make it OP
I used to think maybe this bolter bad takes come from zealot players but its even stronger on zealot
it still oneshots things though
you're playing on a class with 3 different way to cut reload speed that are stackable
bro I literally shot a poxwalker in the chest the other day and it didn't even get knocked down
Its just frusterating
they should get rid of Plasma'a alt fire and make primary behave like alt. big damage but slow firing.
it was as if someone had punched it lightly
a bolter hitting you in the chest cavity should pop it like a balloon. Your rib cage should become shrapnel
I miss when Plasma was damage alpha vs the DPS of other guns
each of your bullets stuns half a horde
not wasting talent tree points for reload stuff
you shoot a bulwark and it gets stunned and opens up
my point exactly
🤔 are you sure you weren't actually using a recon
you shoot a gunner 10 others around it are suppressed
easy mistake to make
trust me, it's seriously that shit
Bolter is an easy weapon and the only real issue with it is jank recoil
Every time
recoil is fine, it just has absolutely no dmg output compared to before
i cant wait for the vods showing bolter kick ass
It has fine damage output lmao
having a huge recoil is fine if the damage can at least kill a poxwalker with one shot
"fine"
Okay I'm alive
a timeless classic
no. it. don't.
cry about it
go review bomb the game
confused noises
you cry, idiot cry cat cry cry cat
You vant tell me >lul discord rage
When someone asks, "is there a good build for bolter"
And your response is "no Its shit"
Bolter is a good gun
Its not crazy
thats what were already doing dingus
There is a build for it
pre-nerf patch
I'm actually just legit
y r u shooting poxwalkers anyway
fucking tired of ''bolter bad''
It just sucks how the meta discussion is
its not bad
i just took the screenshot now
Its bad so don't use it lul
cry about it
Its good
its not plasma tier
Oh my go
C:<
no gun should be plasma tier
because I thought I was killing nothing and I tested it, and there was evidence right there I couldn't kill a poxwalker
are you on the highest difficulty tho
yes
or else they would have less than 300 hp
and dont tell me its old ss
ok well sry I don't use the "poxwalker dmg" perk
my anti poxwalker boltgun build lmfao
then explain why my shot didn't kill it
also stand 20 meters back more
you're too close
maybe it's the damage drop-off, then
you used to be able to snipe shit miles away
seems like a build issue
well I'm just saying I did that and mine didn't
there's a clear difference between now and its former glory, as previously stated, no more questions
the poxwalkers are to the left
only in vet chat


of course u want to kill poxwalkers. they're dirty
again
no plague in my hive city
why are you even shooting trash with bolter 🤔
Im gonna say that a Gyrojet propelled Rocket will probably overpenn a rotting carcass made hollow by maggots
Bolter was never good against poxwalker 
I just want revolver/plasma to get absolutely nerfed to shit so these people can realize they can not use precision weapons
veteran brainrot
that they do not understand them to begin with
melee isn’t real
idk how you could manage to build a bolter and have it not oneshot poxwalkers
my brother in christ, ive been using this shit gun since the Veteran toughness glitch on release. It will take an Act of God to make me stop
that’s honestly really impressive and i wanna see it
aren't you annoyed every 50 IQ brainlet also uses it now?
Just has a bad stigma to it now
idk what you're trying to prove but it happened to me
so either we're saying darktide is shit or bolt gun is shit
lmfao
to me, difference doesn't matter
i think the lesson to take away is
dont shoot poxwalkers with a gun with only 15 bullets and slow reload
I could empty a boltgun mag into a crowd of crushers and there'd be nothing but gore left
now you're lucky if you take out two of them
and it's literally the same gun pre- and post-patches so don't even argue I'm using bad perks or blessings
Crushers got buffed though
then they should have buffed bolt gun along with it
because what's the point in keeping a gun that has massive recoil, a tiny mag and a long reload animation when you can just take a revolver that does the same damage but much faster
like isn't a bolt gun supposed to kinda be op? it's like the iconic "fuck shit up" weapon for 40k
and I'm not even a big fan, and I know that much
by that logic
you're telling me mr. nobody-revolver is gonna make a bolt gun look like crap? gettouttahere man
I mean, i play bolter
everything is right in teh world
plasma is the most op
and revolver is the katana of guns
I dont play revolver
I like revolvers in games, they're my favourite weaponry, but this is 40k
and this is
darktide
also
just tried it
u can still drop 4 crushers in one clip
autofiring
i think that's perfectly fair
ok then I guess I'm making it up, is that what you're saying?
last one is 1 boolet away from death unfortuantely
I'm just dying on purpose, I guess
when I could really just drop those crushers like nothing
maybe you just got dependent on an op gun before
strange that, huh
Pretty much everyone agrees with you, revolver is way overtuned and shouldn't be more powerful than the boltgun. The boltgun is ok rn but definitely diminished from its place 10 months ago
and now the bandage has been ripped away
Waaa
😢
thank u
I rest my case
See it always boils down to this
''what about revolver/plasma''
well
revolver needs to be gutted
not everything else buffed to the same level as the armor piercing sniper rifle with infinite clip size
gut those two guns
Plasma needs charged shots buffed and regular shots have less cleave
gut em
and fast swap speed
still a massive difference between now-bolt gun and then-bolt gun and thousands of darktide players will agree with me
gut them so the whataboutism can stop
i mean the boltgun is basically in a reasonable spot rn
there's a reason why not every veteran has bolt gun anymore
because it takes some semblance of brain cells to use now
and most of you can't have that
Also fyi Boltgun is still pretty strong on zealot
literally today I had a veteran with bolter-knife shooting poxwalkers
doing 1/3th my damage
I think the main reason the boltgun feels so bad now is because of the changes to executioners stance. No instant reload and less damage output from it. while all the monsters also got hp buffs
i mean
ur still talking about a gun that can drop 5 crushers in a few seconds
its fine for it to be clunky
That said the boltgun still performs fine, its just not as beastly as before and there's other weapons that are overtuned and outshine it
I swear theres something wrong with how chaos spawn grab works ingame
Its like it doesnt take in factor latency
not everything needs to be plasma with 1 gorillion cleave and oneshots everything with a huge clip and fast swap
that needs to be nerfed
It’s a net code issue iirc
its the ping
Plasma can def use a cleave nerf
you can reliably dodge it in meat grinder because thats local I believe
bruh bolter doesnt even need exec
i think its perfectly fine
you can run it
but it doesnt even need
can just run voc and be a tanky boi
I've been running that build for ages
I've noticed a lot more slop in the server-client communication lately, I wasn't sure if it was Darktide servers or my new VPN. But a lot more of my blocks, dodges, and weapon swaps dont register and trip me up
and cringe everytime I see other bolter vets
they always do the same thing
hipfire into crowds
run out of ammo
complain
People that frequently shoot into crowds will shoot into crowds regardless of the weapon they’re using
they should be playing brautos or ogryn
its just a smaller shittier bolter that's faster
that's where these guns should be
Cleave tho
I think they should just nerf old revolver and then see where it stands
Not high cleave just Helbore-grade cleave would do a lot for it
sure
thats the annoying thing
any convo about agri volver goes down to
"but zarona does x better"
well no shit
its overpowered
I'm telling you its always the same argument
and it drives me insane
but what about gun with infinite cleave and ogryn sized bullets
Its kinda the opposite of the power sword but with the same situation. Old one gets neglected, new one is pretty well balanced. Its just the old power sword is undertuned and the old revolver is overtuned
can you imagine if every gun was that busted
half the tryhards already run those two guns or columnus
do you guys prefer it if the vet in your squad has a krak nade or the other one?
shredder is better like 90% of the time
Frag is better than krak usually
krak is only taken when your build just cant deal with carapace I guess
Or boss dmg
Krak is for bon
yeah I only take krak if my weapons dont do armor well
ok bc since bolt gun literally can't deal with carapace anymore, I'm usually grabbing krak
wdym cant deal lmao
grab krak bc bolt gun crap
Idk I think relying on guns to kill crushers is a bad habit to begin with
well power sword is futile when I can take down a crusher with better alternatives in the time it takes to charge that mf up
You’re almost always at a pretty huge ammo deficit when shooting at crushers
last time i used bolter was like 2 months ago, but part of the problem was mag dumping into crushers meant some of the shots straight up didnt register with the server. Doing like 3 round bursts into crusher packs tend to do better
Respectfully I don’t think you know what you’re talking about
used to not be when I could wipe 6 crushers with a mag
u do realize
power sword can 2shot crushers rn right
its one of the fastest weaponst at killign crushers
gun or melee
lol
u can cancel the charge up animation too
The only things faster than power sword at killing crushers are the funny folded shovels
mhm yup and I'm saying I got better alternatives that don't require me to wait 3 seconds to wait for powering uppage
It doesn’t take 3 seconds to power up
I agreed with you at first but now I think you're just making up reasons to be frustrated
PS is crazy good
this is not 3 seconds
yeah it's good
talking about the other one
the other one still kills extremely quickly
skip the maybe u were exaggerating
not many things kill crushers faster than power swords
but I'm saying I have options that I can do the same, and sometimes more, in the time it takes to just charge up the sword
dunno guess I just have my skills then
I have a couple options
just not the bolter anymore 
If u are thinking about kill crushers fast you have more options than Boltgun or power sword
litearlly half a second slower
yes, thanks for that one fatshark
are u like
not hitting their head
or something
cause yeahi guess it takes a while to kill them if u swing at their arms
If you havent you should play an ogryn with one of the new shovels, you can 1-shot up to like 3 crushers in 1 swing
If you’re purely looking at magdump Boltgun playstyle, zealot does that really well rn
the mk5 or mk19 both can do it
I'm an ogryn main, and that for a reason
Zealot can basically negate every one of Boltgun magdump downsides except ammo econ
I literally have hundreds of hours just as ogryn because ogryn can do in a second what perhaps only zealot can do in the same time, but takes the other classes half a fkin minute 🙂
cavalcade + pinning + FotF?
yes I'm a fucking god when it comes to zealot and ogryn, thank you I know
- duelist + dance of death
Put blazing piety in there as well
explains a lot 
oh ok sorry 🛐
better
I'd challenge anyone to try to out-zealot me when I'm knife zealot and I'm not even kidding
specials? you don't need to kill a single one
I take down crushers faster than you can blink 😘
and yes, I do stick with the squad
because I don't want to play the same class all the time
gets boring to be at the top baby 💪
daily ''boltgun bad''
I'm getting a lot of middle school energy outta this rn
So that’s the only thing u were complains abt? lol
wdym "only thing"?
you're telling me I should be happy a quarter of the game is locked away from me because it sucks?
because it's less effective?
can roll ur face across the keyboard with a mediocre melee weapon and not even pull out gun once

Wdym a quarter of the game
exactly my point
one out of four classes?
and all of them the baby day care of pretending to take down enemies quickly
it's like kerillian all over again
tee hee 217 gunners killed
I’m sorry that’s just a u issue
awooga not the best anymore when it comes to auric
sure lol, show me all them vets and psykers who really make a big difference lmao
I challenge you to show me any of those 1 IQ darktide randos who do a hundredth of the job I do in a game, as vet or psyker
gl
You should stick to zealot and ogryn if you cant handle the vet and psyker playstyles
I don’t think u even understand veteran well enough to make an unbiased opinion so why should I bother lol
People falling for the troll here lol
i do not feel particularly weakened as psyker
Oh ik he’s prob baiting, it’s funny though
it's not that I can't "handle" anything
why waste my time picking out specials in my sights when I take them down quicker with throwing knives as zealot?
I mean I won't flex any more, my skills in game speak for me tyvm
ok now I am trolling a tiny bit 🤏 but only to lighten the mood
by the sounds of it, you'd be surprised tho js
chances are you'd propose to me while you're wiped and I'm carrying the game and getting you back up tbh
(still, I would say no)
i am surprised
by someone who shoots poxwalkers with bolter
was surprised a while ago tbh

and also couldnt kill them*
huh still don't get what a test is, I see
Testing how well a pan fries an egg by melting an ice cube on it
analogy doesn't work
go eat eggs
Average braced autogun run
I MAY HAVE KILLED ALMOST A 1000 ENEMIES BUT IT WASENT ENUFF 
its called graia braced autogun and "wtf are you made out of ammo"
leaderboard mod doesn't even show half the useful info tbh
relax, relax, now I am trolling 
but still, I don't use it
what would you like to add to it?
true
well idk about time, but theres coherency efficiency
in reality though, numbers don't necessarily say much in a co-op game
reddit always knows whats good
now i simply stand next to my team not attacking
and yell at them if they ever move away from me
it might tell you something but good squad play doesn't always show
optimal reddit plays
le fis


ok this time i did better
50k, +ordo dockets curios is the meta
inspecting random people just makes me mad
but his finesse is shit and perk too so
also no headtaker
can mine be salvaged?
since people keep saying perks aren't important
i got another one but this one is not usable right
also uh
This one might be, but only if you gigaroll brutal on orange
The other one, no lmao
yeah
"But rashad is a meta weapon, what do you mean bruiser breakpoints? What are bruisers?"
ugh
perks are important
every single thing on it is important
unarmored/flak + headtaker/bromentum
non negotiable really
You can apparently go without flak IF you dedicate a ton of points in the tree to reaching that breakpoint
But like, just better off crafting it
Be a psychopath like me and use headtaker/all or nothing on a deadshot vet
yeep
that's what I gotta doo
how do you see a breakdown like this?
mods
ah, thanks
U wanna know how to farm dockets
sure'
Damnation orthus offensive, bell skip at start and just speedrun the fight
You won’t have any plasteel from doing this but if you have a full squad just speedrunning it over and over
You can get 6-7 runs in per hour
Each is 19950 dockets, with +30% that’s roughly 26k
Damnation has higher chance to drop gold items which u can sell (or harvest)
On avg 150~200k dockets per hour
btw whats the secret hard mode to get the fully golden thingy
7 bells scattered across the map, ring them a specific amount of times
Or, if you have someone who’s already beat hard mode before, u can just bell skip at start (there’ll be 2 bells)
Left bell is regular
Right bell is hard mode
When hard mode is activated, the twins have red wreaths around their heads
ty for the info
Hard mode is mainly hard from the amount of armored elites that’ll spawn in
that'd put you in hard mode right
seems like the hardest part about that method is finding a group that does it properly lul
the bell on the left is the regular damnation fight
no, left bell is regular
right bell is hard
reload to flak is probably the play, right?
works
flak gives u a lot of extra consistency in bodyshots
unarmored gives me the one shot on dreg gunners which is nice
u don't have to run unarmored for dreg gunner 1 shot, but since u can only change 1 it's prob best to get +flak
I've noticed too that headshot priority is really low on Maulers
this depends
how so? I've got 80% damage, weak spot damage talent and elite damage talent
on a different gun I mean
and it doesn't headshot 1 shot
if u have 10% elite perk with 15% elite talent u can still 1 shot dreg gunners with tag/RF
o cool
didnt know you could skip without hard mode
elite is more versatile for plasma
okay makes sense
also, here's what I compiled for breakpoints
no I mean like
Did a little more testing regarding plasma breakpoints
Here’s the info I found:
Assuming you take the following talents:
+5% ranged dmg (x2)
+30% weakpoint dmg
+15% elite dmg
+20% ogryn/monster dmg
Tag keystone & redirect fire (RF)
Default breakpoints with +10% elite (perk)
- 2 HS reaper
- 2 shot bulwark (1st open shield, 2nd HS)
- 3 HS crusher (crits help consistency involving bodyshots)
- 1 charged headshot crusher (5 RF, 5 stack tag)
- 2 shot both ragers (1 crit HS both)
- 1 HS both gunners (dreg needs tag / RF)
- 1 HS both flamers (need tag / RF)
- 1 bodyshot trapper, sniper & bomber
- 1 HS both shotgunners
+Maniac (perk)
Guarantees:
- 1 HS dreg ragers
Potential: - 1 bodyshot both flamers ( 5 RF + >2 stacks of tag + longshot / agile engagement active)
- 1 charged HS mutants (5 RF + tag + longshot)
+Flak (perk)
Guarantees the following breakpoints:
- 1 bodyshot scab gunner (RF active)
- 1 bodyshot both shotgunners
- 3 bodyshot mauler (2 bodyshot if 1 crit, needs RF active + tag)
- this also makes mauler HS worthless since bodyshot > HS in dmg
- 3 bodyshot reaper (2 shot if either is headshot, needs RF active + tag)
Potential with agile engagement active: - 1 HS both ragers (dreg needs tag)
- 1 bodyshot dreg gunner (RF)
Potential with longshot: - 1 bodyshot dreg gunner at 12m+ (5RF + 2 tag)
- 1 HS both ragers at 14m+ (5RF + 2 tag)
- no longer need tag or RF to 1 HS both gunners & both flamers
+Carapace (perk)
Guarantees the following breakpoints:
- 3 shot crusher (1st HS)
- 1 charged HS crusher (RF)
- 3 shot mauler (1st HS)
Overall conclusion for perks:
Priority: +elite
Consistency: +flak
Potential: +maniac
Kill crushers: +carapace
I go into Psyk and I straight up can't hit the head
it's flak armor damage every time
imagine
that's a bug
it's carapace
It also doesn't highlight the shot in yellow
if they nerf prob only BPs that would change are ragers
it's showing up as a bodyshot
yes, that's a bug
you're better off looking at the dmg values and comparing them
cause yeah its funky
whats the best axe after rashad\
I think flak+elite is the best combo for plasma
antax prob
but rashad is usually better
what are the requirements for it
same thing
bruiser 1HS on light atks
except antax is even harder to reach those than rashad because no finesse modifier
I tested these without perfect optimal dmg & SP rolls
I think I have 77 dmg and 73 SP
Which one do I use the first one (which could be reblessed to have Hand cannon as well) or the second one?
why is ur game so dark
first
harvest 2nd for hand cannon IV, bless onto first
Thats low rates
I-II-VEG farms are far more efficent
yea if u speedrun AM it's faster
I-II-VEG farms are more around 500k per hour.
so what am I supposed to be able to do with this, seems innefective against crushers and maulers, others it can kill in like 1-3 hits, dreg ragers take 4
This is assumeing players are running 30% ordo dockets on curios.
wdym infective against crushers & maulers
uh
It can 3 shot a crusher
u should be able to 4 heavy atk both of them?
its not as effective a psword vs carapace if that's your metric
but it cleaves thorugh hordes very efficiently, can handle any armor type, and is far more mobile
You can get it down reealllly well
3 hit crusher needs some tinkering
yee
?
heavies on carapace
light on maniacs
o wait you tried both
uhhh
what's your tree
looks like your dmg is just a bit short
yeah no melee stuff
so it requires talents too?
ya
which ones
takk ogryn dmg
usually i only take rashad on wep specialist builds tbh
i am using a psword right now, just want rashad eventually
but that's just me
also
psword is better if u cant afford any points into melee
no points
Yeah I thought that would be my best option since the slightly lower DMG of the first one won't really have much of an impact and it has the ideal perks on it already
but i prefer rashad when you can
u don't need onslaught on thr right side
drop rending
why
because ogryn dmg is better than rending when ur using rashad
well
are u relying on columnus to kill crushers or smth
That seems wrong lol
Ciag does want rending sources for unyielding/flak
its not that bad
u can get around 2k dps on a crusher with colu
and onslaught
Usually you should only be shooting them if theyre close to you and you have pressure
Otherwise it's pretty bad ammo wise
the point sink just doesn't seem worth it to me
nah
its not that much of an ammo dump
but yeah it is a point investment to grab onslaught
That's because you didn't look at the falloff values
far is how far away, 30m+?
I never run out of ammo, most of the time I can switch to melee for like 2 minutes and my ammo is maxed up lol
A clip is 58
35/58
let me check exactly how much
it rounds up to being the full clip
For flak alone you'll hit enough for onslaught at a medium distance, but I can check
now u learn math nerd :^)
in any case
let me check exactly how much you need to drop a crusher
I'd still take either onslaught or rending strikes but not both
stuff searcher
Keep in mind he doesnt have 20% ogryn dmg and deadshot
i dont run dedshot either
So the TTK is even worse
too sweaty for me
You hit 100% unyielding modifier at 26m
So flak performance is the primary benefit
26m unyielding is perfectly fine, past that the gun doesn't shoot straight enough to be hitting full headshots on reapers anyway
no crits
so like 23 bullet at worst (my clip is 56)
if u crit even once its below 20
as for flak performance, only enemy I think it would matter for are the 2 gunners
every other flak enemy tries to get close to u
Flak is the most common armor type in the game, and it starts negative
Even just like 7m can get you to 90%
easy
i didn't realize until now that crushers are ogryns
Talents

even if i drop ogryn dmg
95% is reasonable
ok but how many enemies actually require u to have high flak ADM to matter at longer ranges
that's the question
Ye i think you're overestimating
How good you are at hitting headshots in a real game
wtf u mean you cant hit head reliably
i play v7 so pretty gud i think
plus its a crusher
they're big
and slow
I don't think onslaught is a big enough difference vs the 2 gunners at long range, and up close once you reach 100% ADM it becomes drastically less effective anyways
you're only 4% off 100% flak ADM up close
and thats no crits
its not that bad really
plus you SHOULD take ogryn dmg anyway
lol
flak shooters, gunners are mostly flak, reapers have flak chests, both shotgunners are flak chests. Also if you want to shoot melee enemies before they get to you and shoot bosses at a longer distance.
half a clip to kill 1 crusher even w/o ogryn dmg is fine, revolver takes almost half their clip to kill a crusher and nobody complains :^)
do they really survive long enough against a columnus that onslaught matters more than 10% rending
Half a clip 
yes, volver takes 2 shots out of 5
that's nearly half too
around the same ratio even if u run ogryn dmg
20 bullets out of 50 for me
I thought we were talking about rending in general, not onslaught vs rending strikes
Seems wrong tbh are you tagging it with 8 stacks or something
no tag
but what do i get rid of in my build
Because the number is inconsistent with my testing
onslaught, unless u plan on magdumping crushers with columnus
cuz i'm using ciag and psword
i meaaaan
idk i run keystoneless personally for ciag
I was more doing hte is not a clip is a mag
ok sorry gun nerd

it takes half my bullet box that i shove into the gun

I actually prefer it lmao
brain be weird
Oh 100%, but 🗿 idc
yea, rending/onslaught helps flak ADM at long range a lot
in practical applications none of the high priority flak targets at long range would really survive long enough for onslaught to kick in to make enough of a difference and that's why I don't recommend it
idk
this is the worst result i got
without like
missing
or something
on purpose
Yeah i mean you're just magdumping into the head
If you're able to do that you're probably able to melee it
Man, I ended up playing today with a friend
We both just did a single Damnation run and turned off the game 

if you crit at all its around 30
if we're just talking theory, have a flak enemy that's tanky enough who is a high priority target at long range, yes onslaught would be very valuable
so do i get rid of rending for ogryn dmg for CIAG?
Most of the time when you shoot a crusher its because theres specials and mixed horde
but there's no such enemy in the game rn
So i dont think your 100% headshot is realistic
i mean
you might as well say some dude might miss with the revolver in a panic situation and it actually takes 3 shots to a kill a crusher and not 2
not that ppl dont miss
Also have to take into account TTK
but i dont think its a valid argument
Like how much time you take to pop 2-3 revolver shots
and how much to half the columnus?
even at long range its about the same
though
ill admit
picking out a crusher's head at 20m+ away steadily
is less realistic
Dear lord
its beautiful
Thats painful to watch in a funny way
now that's how guns should work
Unless u plan on magdumping crushers with columnus (a lot), onslaught just doesn't seem worth it to me
what game even is that
I think is Postal
I think that's one of the postal games
its not really an invalid way to play it
It's from the postal 2 beta, never made it to the final game
no different than ppl who used recon that way pre nerf
Damn
tbh if I have the opportunity I shoot them a little and when they get too close I melee them
it outdpses recon on crusher for that matter 
so like

Fatshark balancing
it's not a "bad playstyle", I just wouldn't recommend it cuz of the point sink
since iirc recon carapace values were virtually unchanged
ah
ye that's fair
you give up something to do it
like keystone
The "deserved" part of Recon nerf was a design lead having a fit
for whatever the reason
Its a heavy sink too, 4 points
most onslaught ciag builds ive made cant take a keystone or have to give up something else
its nice for brainless play tho
just point ciag at everything and it dies
lul
"Why are people using the gatling laser over my personal favorite the helbores
"
Look
the real winner of patch13 was vraks3 and people were just blind to it
wasnt v3 nerfed that patch
It was, it's still good too
v3 got nerfed in 14 because it could dump crushers in 13
He had a nice little video of him dumping a plague ogryn
u could unironically magdump crushers with v3 with just 15% rending and 20% ogryn dmg

Here it is
i thought about removing all of it, i don't even know if i need duck and dive
duck and dfive is pointless if you'renot running deadshot
Honestly, I think if ur not using a breakpoint focused gun, target down is higher priority than RF
you can remove the whole thing if you want
like it was discussed
im the first to say
its not bad at all
its good if you just wanna point the ciag at everything
but yeah it is a point investment
cool, 4 new points, one goes to ogryn dmg, rest where, might try to boost melee a little
4 pts could go to better nades
so its up to you
well
if you wanted to run rashad
u could drop focus target and go down wep specialist
with those extra pts
with 4 points u could grab the holy 10% melee dmg + agile engagement combo
and have 1 point to spend into demo team
its gonna take years till i get perfect rashad
or ya do 10% melee and demo team
or hell do demo team and grenadier for meme nade build
idk if 10% melee helps your bps
I run this
on psword i mean
honestly
i'd say
try wep specialist PERSONALLY
wep specialist psword is also disgusting
as in disgustingly good
basically removes the weakness of low mobility and the aspd boost turns you into a blender
wep specialist doesn't boost ciag that much but, a guaranteeed crit string never hurt anyone
Yes
how do u even activate weapon specialist what is that
change weapon
ah
basically, if u kill 1 enemy with your ranged weapon, your melee weapon (when you swap to it) will have bonus attackspeed and dodge distance/speed
if you kill enemies with your melee weapon, you get a stacking crit/firing speed buff up to 10 times
I personally think is more a melee buff than a ranged one except for some weapons
Like pull up ranged, shoot a random mf
pretty much
yeah the melee side is definitely the main draw
weapon specialist is very fun with laspistol and revolver, paired with power sword
wep specialist is really good with v3 too
the guaranteed crit + fire rate lets you drop anything basically when you switch to it
And plasma gun
Revolver and plasma are the best because you get a guaranteed crit
plasma I tried WS, didn't feel as good as just taking middle keystone
Like hit 2-3 trash, and you can nuke whoever you want
Vraks 3 is also a guaranteed crit, but for three bullets, the whole burst
Add in deadly accurate on the vraks 3 as a blessing
ya
that's why it works well
especially because if u want WS, u would have to give up smth good like ogryn/monster or 15% elite
i mean tbh i dont usually shoot at crushers with v3
but you can see the difference in ttk
both of which plasma wants
Melee keystone better for ""marksman"" weapons
Ranged Keystone better for "Magdump" weapons
GREAT DESIGN TEAM
and how big the firespeed buff feels
Also, me running the weapon specialist, I also have agile engagement
25 percent damage bonus to other weapon for 5 seconds on kill
me using agil engagement with lucius
i actually dropped agile and 10% melee from the build lul

afterwards
I killed 10 ragers like that once
Killed a few fodder wth the power sword, revolver headshot three of them
Swapped back to power sword, energize while dodging
is the bolter good again or is it still bad?
Eh
if they ever do smth abt survivalist so left pathing isn't as important I'd prob just go straight 10% melee + AE + move speed aura
It's tough
CHOPCHOP
Remember why we're here in the first place
Weapon spec talents that specified too much on specific guns felt worse
that's basically what im trying now
on v3/rashad lol
I still feel Weapon Spec works too much better for specific guns though
and IMO
"unfiltered opinion"
We haven't seen the old talents before they scrapped it
totally not an excuse to just go infiltrate
Weapon spec definetly works only for like heavy hitting guns
